Sketch comedians Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, Brian Posehn, and a host of other people chip in to make this audio production a much richer experience than the book will ever be. Pulling together different material that Odenkirk and Cross have worked on over the years, they enact some amusing scripts and skits that fans of their HBO series, Mr. Show, will appreciate. Including other actors they've worked with makes the production that much more enjoyable and creative, and the use of sound effects and music enhances the experience...This is a fun listening experience for those who enjoy the ridiculous and the absurd. -- AudioFile
